Chapter 347 Shut up! What do you know, you little bitch?
Lu Jingzhou sat in front of the guqin, plucking the notes lightly with his fingers, and notes jumped out. He had practiced tirelessly several times, and the tune of this song was already familiar to him, and the previous sense of unfamiliarity was gone.
At this time, Lan Xiyue held the jade flute and blew it gently. The sound of the flute and the sound of the piano were intertwined, harmonious and beautiful, like the sound of nature, intoxicating.
This was the first time they played this piece together, but they worked together very well.
As soon as Mo Liyuan arrived, wherever his eyes fell, he saw the heartwarming scene of Lan Xiyue and Lu Jingzhou enjoying harmony. His face instantly turned gloomy, and jealousy surged in his heart, as if his most precious treasure had been robbed.
Lan Xiyue noticed Mo Liyuan's arrival and immediately stopped playing the flute. She walked over to him with a smile as beautiful as a flower: "Why are you here?"
Mo Liyuan's gaze lingered on Lan Xiyue for a moment, his tone bitter: "Does Yue'er not want me to come? Or am I disturbing Yue'er?"
Lan Xiyue frowned. Why was this guy so sarcastic? Was he jealous?
"I didn't know Yue'er could play the flute. Yue'er has never played the qin, xiao or se with me."
Lan Xiyue couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. This man was actually jealous. She secretly complained, "System, how do you coax a jealous man?"
The system's childish voice echoed in my mind: "Host, just kiss him. Kiss him until he's distracted and won't be jealous anymore."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue curled up her lips into a helpless smile. This system was truly shocking.
At this time, Lu Jingzhou also stood up and bowed respectfully to Mo Liyuan: "Greetings, Regent!"
Mo Liyuan just glanced at him indifferently.
Mo Liyuan looked at Lan Xiyue with deep eyes, and said with a hint of possessiveness: "Yue'er can also play the flute. This king is very surprised."
Lan Xiyue chuckled, trying to ease the awkwardness: "Well, I'll play it for you later."
Mo Liyuan's eyes grew deeper. "Yuer, from now on you can only play it to me alone." There was a hint of dominance in his tone.
Lan Xiyue sighed helplessly. This man was so overbearing that it gave her a headache. However, she had to quickly give in and nodded: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll only tell you about it from now on."
Qian Duo waited for Lan Xiyue for a long time but she didn't come back. Finally, they couldn't bear it anymore and came over. They saw Wen Lingling lying unconscious on the ground, and the maid beside her was still crying anxiously.
Qian Duoduo raised an eyebrow. What happened? But how could this Wen Lingling be so annoying? She deserved it! Qian Duoduo ignored her and walked in with Chuchun and the other girls.
Not long after walking in, Qian Duoduo saw quite a few people in front of them. As they walked forward, they saw Lan Xiyue and Mo Liyuan. A playful smile appeared on her lips. She turned to look at Chuchun and whispered teasingly, "Is this what you said, your lady went to the bathroom? Hey, Yueyue is really not nice. We were waiting for her impatiently, but she was talking about love with a beautiful woman."
Mo Liyuan's eyes flashed, and he hugged Lan Xiyue into his arms without saying anything. He turned around and faced the onlookers with an unquestionable attitude, and said in a cold voice: "If I hear any slander about Yue'er again, I will not forgive it easily." His words were full of pressure, which made people feel cold.
Someone in the crowd timidly echoed, "Lord Regent, calm down. We were also misled by Wen Lingling. If we had known that it was Master Lu and Miss Lan enjoying the piano together, who would have believed Wen Lingling's nonsense? Master Lu is a man of high moral character. How could he do such a vile thing?"
"That's right, that's right. It's Wen Lingling who has ulterior motives and deliberately distorts the facts. Miss Lan and Mr. Lu were just having a gathering to discuss piano skills, but in her mouth, it became something disgusting. It shows how vicious this person is!" Everyone echoed, their words full of condemnation for Wen Lingling.
Mo Liyuan turned a deaf ear to these discussions. He hugged Lan Xiyue and flashed out of Furong Garden, leaving behind only a dazzling back.
Only then did everyone get a chance to catch their breath, breathing deeply.
Nalan Mei stood under the tree, her eyes fixed on Lu Jingzhou. Her expression was complicated, showing both unwillingness and a hint of anger.
Nalan Mei took a deep breath and stepped forward. "This princess wanted to listen to Master Lu's superb zither performance just now, but Master Lu refused without a second thought. Why did he turn around and play with Lan Xiyue's Qin Xiao?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingzhou paused slightly, then turned around and bowed to Nalan Mei, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant. "Miss Lan's zither skills are extraordinary, and I am ashamed to be inferior to her. The zither score I just wrote was also written by Miss Lan. The artistic conception is profound, and I deeply admire her. In my eyes, Miss Lan is truly the confidant I have been looking for."
Nalan Mei's heart sank. "Confidant?" Nalan Mei repeated the word softly, a surge of indescribable bitterness welling up in her heart. How long had he been with Lan Xiyue, yet he considered her a confidant? And yet, she tried so hard to show her affection to him, but he avoided her. Why?
Lu Jingzhou clasped his fists again, his tone apologetic. "I really like this new music score, but there are still some unclear points. I would like to go back and study it carefully. Farewell."
After he finished speaking, Lu Jingzhou turned and left. The guards hurriedly picked up the zither and followed him with the music score.
Nalan Mei watched Lu Jingzhou leave, the anger in her heart burning like ignited firewood. She flicked her sleeves and strode away. Seeing this, the maid beside her whispered to comfort her, "Princess, Lu Jingzhou is not the only good man. Lu Jingzhou is so tactless, why waste your time on him?"
"Shut up! What do you know, you little bitch?"
The maidservant immediately shut her mouth and dared not say another word.
There was a hint of unknown calculation between Nalan Mei's brows. Her uncle cared about Lan Xiyue's feelings more than she thought. Nalan Mei narrowed her eyes and whispered to the maid beside her, "Go and find out what Lan Xiyue likes. This princess wants to cater to her preferences and build a good relationship with her." She was jealous of Lan Xiyue's appearance when she first saw her, and was instigated by Wen Lingling. She really shouldn't have done that!
Upon hearing this, the maidservant was puzzled as to why the princess suddenly changed her attitude, but she did not dare to ask any more questions and could only respond and retreat.
Nalan Mei came out and looked coldly at Wen Lingling who was lying unconscious on the ground. Her maid was still crying softly beside her.
Nalan Mei said coldly: "Come here, throw Wen Lingling out of Furong Garden." This bitch didn't even tell her that the man with Lan Xiyue was Lu Jingzhou. This idiot has already angered her uncle, so there is no need for her to make friends with him anymore.
Guards immediately stepped forward and pulled away the unconscious Wen Lingling and her maid.
Her maid cried, "Please have mercy, Princess. Our young lady is injured and unconscious..."
Nalan Mei ignored him and left.
